User talk:Doigy

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

Hey this the lord high master Doigy,
some call me doigalot,
others call me doiginder,
but as many are not permitted to even usher my name due to fear of death, and horrible things spewing forth from my evil army of dwarven smiths and noob haters.
I was put on this earth for one reason to find the truth.

Hello, Doigy, and welcome to Uncyclopedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If not, the door's right over there... no, a little more to your left... Yes. You seem to have a sense of humor, but to be sure that it corresponds to the kind of humor that is accepted on this site, I suggest checking out the following links:

Beginner's Guide - A massive guide about how to be the best you can be at Uncyclopedia. I've honestly never read the whole thing in one sitting myself, but it is very useful if you're looking for help on a specific issue.

How to be funny and not just stupid - Our flagship link. This will tell you how to not get booed off the metaphorical stage that is Uncyclopedia. I STRONGLY suggest reading the entire thing through, perhaps more than once.

Our Vanity Policies - This page details why we don't care about your friends, your school, your gay fourth period math teacher, or the homework he has you do, and in-jokes. DO NOT violate these rules.

Uncyclopedia:Best of - For a bit of inspiration. These are our featured articles. This is the kind of stuff we like to read around here.

Now that that's out of the way, just continue reading and you'll notice some more links. These ones are about help in general:

At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but I do recommend it, it can be quite enjoyable, and it's a good chance to let others take notice of your writing. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Doigy/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{construction}} - onto it as well.

If you want to write and don't know where to begin, consider contributing to Uncyclopedia's current colonization of the week, a group writing project to improve a single popular article. Anyone is welcome to contribute, so come help out! If the current colonization doesn't suit your fancy, then browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid - dive right in!

If you need help, ask me on my talkpage, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talkpage. Additionally, the Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. I hope you enjoy editing here and being an Uncyclopedian, and remember: Have fun with it. We're all here to have a good time and a good laugh. Please sign your name on talkpages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button () above the edit box. Again, welcome!

Just stopped by with a couple of tips for you. I've just altered your chav hunting article so that it includes a construction tag - to add one in the future, use this code: {{construction}} instead of simply writing "to be continued" or suchlike and the article will remain undeleted for seven days - marauding admins will pay no heed to anything else. However, there's a better way still. When you create a new article, rather than doing so in mainspace, do it in userspace. You do this by creating a page called something along the lines of http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Doigy/NameOfArticle, which will not be deleted no matter how long you leave it. Once the page is completed, it's a simple matter of transferring it over to the main Uncyclopedia space and adding the userspace version to QVFD - message me on my talkpage or talk to Sockpuppet, whose talkpage can be reached easily via that welcome message up there, if anything is unclear. Finally, to add a signature, use four tildes - like this: ~~~~. There's no need to do this in articles though, just on talkpages, forums etc. Oh, and one last thing - welcome to Uncyclopedia - I'm looking forward to seeing more of your articles in future. :-) Rabbi TechnokvetchContribsFOXES 08:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
